Hermia, Lysander, Demetrius and Helena all enter the forest looking for love. However, Puck makes mischief, and all goes awry! Titania opens her eyes to a village actor who has stumbled into the forest with a donkey’s head stuck on his. Puck has mistaken Lysander for Demetrius, and Lysander opens his eyes to adore Helena. Oberon orders a deep fog to cover the forest as he un-muddles the mischief of Puck. When the fog lifts, all is set right.

The Wedding Singer
March 21, 2010
Center for the Arts, UW-Platteville

3PM & 8PM
In "The Wedding Singer" its 1985 and rock-star wannabe Robbie Hart is New Jersey's favorite wedding singer. He's the life of the party, until his own fiancee leaves him at the altar. Shot through the heart, Robbie makes every wedding he plays as disastrous as his own. Enter Julia, a winsome waitress who wins his affection. Only trouble is Julia is about to be married to a Wall Street shark, and unless Robbie can pull of the performance of the decade, the girl of his dreams will be gone forever. With a brand new score that pays loving homage to the pop songs of the 1980s, "The Wedding Singer" takes us back to a time when hair was big, greed was good, collars were up, and a wedding singer just might be the coolest guy in the room.

The Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ: A Personal Perspective
March 23, 2010
Shalom Retreat Center, 1001 Davis St., Dubuque, IA

7:00 – 9:00pm

Facilitator: Margaret Jungers OSF

Because we grow accustomed to hearing the passion narrative each year, it may lose its impact for us. We might think Mel Gibson’s portrayal of the passion holds the answer to understanding this mystery. How can the passion move us to deeper levels in our spiritual life as we anticipate Good Friday? What is its power for us right here and now? The mystery and significance of Jesus death will unfold for each of us in a personal way as we view and discuss two short videos on this topic by Ron Rolheisser.

Offering: $8. Register/prepay by Friday, Mar. 19.
